Debian 13.5 xfce desktop

The 13.5 release for #Debian #Linux is now available. This does not constitute a new major version of Debian, this is just a point release that acts as a big rollup of #security and #stability updates. If you're already on Debian 13, all you need to do is install your updates normally and you'll be g2g.

Why flatpak? I just "sudo apt install chromium" from #Debian main 😉

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/chromium

I'm mostly on #firefox, though, or even on #eww, when possible. #Chromium is the last resort.

Yet another really well written critical text regarding #LLM and #GenAI was just submitted as a GDC to the #Guix project. This is something we should be keeping an eye on in #Debian as well. https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2026-05/msg00164.html @civodul

Does anybody managed to use an Wahoo indoor trainer and Zwift while using only a Linux computer ? ( #debian more specifically)

Very curious about the whole setup.

Does anyone know of a ssl-cert template to generate an ECC private key instead of RSA with make-ssl-cert?

Same here with #Firefox #ESR on #Debian stable. I don't have an account at MS. When I join an MS-Teams session, I can't see others and esp. not their presentation. I typically just ask everyone to change to #BBB, when possible. #BigBlueButton works relatively well.

Can anyone using #Linux use browser for #MicrosoftTeams calls with video?

I don't have a microslop account but am asked to join calls with a browser.

Audio works fine but I can't see anyone and they can't see me; despite my video working in preview before starting call.

@maths_c0d3 @gweeeen @Bristow_69 nous on fait quasiment toutes les installs sous #debian #gnome #netinstall. Pour les profs et élèves c'est gnome qui est globalement plébiscité. Debian 13 est, je trouve, particulièrement facile à installer et à maintenir, notamment en réseau, mais nous n'avons jamais d'ordinateurs récents à reconditionner. Avec Debian et Gnome on a l'essentiel et on évite des tas de trucs inutiles qui perturbent le néophyte. Un succès que cette Debian 13 sous Gnome.

@rickvanrooijen @mho @parismarx I'll name one example of an American project that is well worth using: @signalapp . The model is sound, they aren't vulnerable to government spying due to strong #E2EE, they're a non-profit and not some money-grubbing megacorp. Yes there are some valid criticisms but it remains the best messenger for a whole family.

I use FLOSS from all over the world. #Debian and #Linux are international efforts, for instance.

I am not sure what exactly makes it PClinuxOS, if the base is Debian. It does have the extra software tools that usually come with PClinuxOS.

It has a recent 7.0.* Linux kernel. Has xLibre installed by default.

PClinuxOS is a rolling release, but the repositories for this appear to be Debian Trixie... so is this not a rolling release Linux?

SysV init version: 3.14 - so no SystemD

Would be great to chat with someone who knows more about this Distribution.

• For Spotify, turning off GPU acceleration in Flatseal

• For Signal, copy the contents of the .desktop file into a new .desktop file in the local directory where those go, and modify the exec line to add --disable-gpu

Note: All of these problems also go away in an X11 session, but that breaks suspend/resume on this iMac, so I'm committed to staying in Wayland.

More thoughts on #CachyOS...

• btrfs has some noticeable hesitancy at times, even on a fairly fast (8th gen i5) machine
• if you're (understandably) avoiding the AUR, the proper pacman archives feel a bit slim at times:

rld@prometheus:~$ pacman -Ss |grep "^[^ ]" |cut -f1 -d' ' |cut -f2 -d/ |sort -u |wc -l
16057

-- compare with #Debian (actually RasPiOS, in this case) --

$ for x in {a..z}; do apt-cache search $x; done |cut -f1 -d' ' |sort -u |wc -l
74416

(Not sure if that's accurate, but #DistroWatch says Debian has over 50,000, and Wikipedia says almost 70,000)

• I've had to come up with a couple bespoke "daemons," one to refresh the xrdb every 10 seconds (NO idea why xrdb forgets everything so often on this box), and one to refresh the keyboard brightness (I use symlinks in my home directory for this) every two seconds, so that it retains the setting after resuming from sleep.

Speaking of which, how does one tell #Debian 13 to ignore closing the lid when charging? I have a cat; lid closing in the midst of doing work is a frequent occurrence. 😸

Interesting post. I would like to see a more in-depth objective review of package manager comparisons.

Sure, speed is great but highly subjective - what if the nearest mirror is several states away or located in a different country altogether?

Some of the ones I'd like to see are:

1.) Number of available packages a distro offers in its default repos.

2.) Package manager features. Can updates be rolled back (not just removed)? How frequently are packages updated? etc.

3.) Ease of configuring your own local mirror.

A note about #Homebrew:

I use it on my #Mac and it's worked flawlessly there for the past six years. But out of curiosity, when I tried it on #Debian, I had weird persistence issues after rebooting the machine. For example Homebrew itself would require reinstallation after reboots and any packages I installed just *disappeared* and needed to be reinstalled too.

Anyone else having difficulties applying 7.0.4+deb14-amd64 to a testing/forky host with Nvidia CPU?

There are many opinions and combinations possible, of course. I prefer simple, community backed, and solid foss blocks that interoperate. That converged to:
* #debian for base OS
* data on encrypted #zfs
* #incus for VM and system containers management (formerly LXD)
* #ansible for automation, with the debops collection

Infrastructure for people, to solve our problems and at our scale, with all the tools under direct control of worker sysadmins

Debian embraces reproducible builds

Big news from the Debian release team: Debian is going for reproducible package builds.

Aided by the efforts of the Reproducible Builds project, we've decided it's time to say that Debian must ship reproducible packages. Since yesterday, we have enabled our migration software to block migration of new packages that can't be reproduced or existing packages (in te

A Debian developer released a one-click .deb mitigation for the Copy Fail and Dirty Frag Linux kernel flaws affecting Debian-based distros 🐧
The temporary package applies command-line protections for Ubuntu, Mint, and Debian users while awaiting upstream kernel patches and security updates 🔐

🔗 https://fossforce.com/2026/05/a-simple-one-click-mitigation-for-copy-fail-and-dirty-frag-for-debian-ubuntu-mint-and-other-debian-based-distros/

Most people still think privacy works like this:

“I use a VPN, so I’m anonymous.”

But modern tracking no longer relies only on IP addresses.

Today, systems can fingerprint users through:

* browser behavior
* hardware characteristics
* TCP/IP stack patterns
* DNS behavior
* GPU/rendering fingerprints
* timing signatures
* viewport & display metrics
* runtime inconsistencies across layers

Changing your IP alone often isn’t enough.

That idea led us to build PH4NTXM.

Instead of randomizing things independently, PH4NTXM tries to create a coherent runtime identity where:

* hardware
* networking
* browser environment
* timing behavior
* GPU exposure

all align consistently within the same session.

The project is:

* live-only
* stateless
* non-persistent across boots
* fully open source

Current focus areas include:

* fingerprint surface reduction
* browser hardening
* network personality shaping
* Tor-isolated operation modes
* fail-secure session termination

We’re not claiming “perfect anonymity” — the goal is simply to reduce static identity behavior and avoid contradictory signals as much as possible.

That's because the repository on GitHub that #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, and Arch all download and use, is indeed named libcalqulate:

https://github.com/Qalculate/libqalculate

Debian's source package is also named libqalculate:

https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/libqalculate

Only #Debian is subdividing what gets built into multiple binary packages. Everyone else is doing a simple 1:1 between source and binary packages.

It's possible to have a 1:many relationship between source and binary packages in Arch pkgbuild, as well. In theory, Arch could also provide the same finer granularity that Debian does.

So thanks @debian and keep on the good work !

## TIL about Ian Debian Murdock

### The sad story of legendary Ian Murdock

• Founded Debian in 1993 at age 20, while a Purdue undergrad
• Name "Debian" = Debra (his girlfriend) + Ian — she later became his wife
• Debian became the base for Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Raspberry Pi OS, hundreds of distros, arguably the most influential Linux project ever
• Worked at Sun Microsystems on Solaris
• Became Chief Operating System officer at Docker, right at the peak of container adoption
• Died December 28, 2015, age 42, officially ruled suicide
• His final hours: a series of distressed tweets describing a violent encounter with San Francisco police (claimed they beat him during an arrest), followed by increasingly erratic posts, then silence
• His Twitter account was deleted by the family shortly after; the tweets are preserved in archives

Debian is still going strong, 30+ years later, without him but his contributions can never be forgotten.

>Although Murdock's parents were both from Southern Indiana,[2] he was born in Konstanz, West Germany, on April 28, 1973, where his father was pursuing postdoctoral research. The family returned to the United States in 1975, and Murdock grew up in Lafayette, Indiana, beginning in 1977 when his father became a professor of entomology at Purdue University. Murdock graduated from Harrison High School in 1991,[3] and then earned his bachelor's degree in computer science from Purdue in 1996.

>While a college student, Murdock founded the Debian project in August 1993, and wrote the Debian Manifesto in January 1994. Murdock conceived Debian as a Linux distribution that embraced open design, contributions, and support from the free software community. He named Debian after his then-girlfriend (later wife) Debra Lynn Roundy, and himself.[4] They later married, had three children, and divorced in January 2008.[5]

>In January 2006, Murdock was appointed Chief Technology Officer of the Free Standards Group and elected chair of the Linux Standard Base workgroup.[6] He continued as CTO of the Linux Foundation when the group was formed from the merger of the Free Standards Group and Open Source Development Labs

>Murdock died on December 28, 2015, in San Francisco.[12][13][14] Though initially no cause of death was released,[15][16] in July 2016 it was announced his death had been ruled a suicide.[17][18] The police confirmed that the cause of death was due to asphyxiation caused by hanging himself with a vacuum cleaner electrical cord.[19][20]

>The last tweets from Murdock's Twitter account first announced that he would commit suicide, then said he would not. He reported having been accused of assault on a police officer after having been himself assaulted and sexually humiliated[21] by the police, then declared an intent to devote his life to opposing police abuse. His Twitter account was taken down shortly afterwards.[22][23]

>The San Francisco police confirmed he was detained, saying he matched the description in a reported attempted break-in and that he appeared to be drunk.[24][25] The police stated that he became violent and was ultimately taken to jail on suspicion of four misdemeanor counts. They added that he did not appear to be suicidal and was medically examined prior to release. Later, police returned on reports of a possible suicide. The city medical examiner's office confirmed Murdock was found dead.[26][27]

>The autopsy report noted extensive bruise marks found on Murdock's body, and a medical history of alcohol abuse, psychological disorders and Asperger syndrome.[28][17]

RE: https://exquisite.social/@thomholwerda/116535458295130039

Ok, so this thread (read it on) changed my views on #Devuan.

And here I was thinking that it was the good version of #Debian, done without systemd etc. Instead, I think I will look for more #AlpineLinux systems to deploy

When I set up this Debian box with ZFS I tried setting up ZFS swap to see how it worked. There were warnings in the OpenZFS docs but I gave it a go anyway.

The system is configured with two fast NVME connected to the CPU and mirrored for the root pool. Swap was created as part of the rpool.

It's a bad configuration. After a number of hours the load average consistently heads into the high teens or higher. Turning off swap makes it drop immediately to ~1.0 (typical for this box running a desktop and futzing around in browsers and shells).

As far as I can tell it's not possible to resize a ZFS partition in situ so I added the swap partition on the third NVME that is formatted EXT4 (south bridge x4).

Not ideal but it is perfectly serviceable.

NVME drives are so fast, would I really notice a difference by the seat of the pants with the swap on partitions on the north bridge connected mirrored devices? Probably not.

Leaving sleeping dragons for now.

They've got the classic debian swirl color, but I don't know of anything else. Of course, #Debian doesn't actually theme anything, a decision I can definitely respect. Still, there's the debian-themed boot screens which are vaguely... bluish?

Funny aside, the original debian swirl logo (and the genie's lamp, a variant that isn't seen often) was created in Adobe Illustrator in the late 90s, using pretty default settings of one of AI's tools. I don't remember where, but I read a write-up on that recently.

It's ironic that a FOSS OS's logo was created with such a proprietary tool, but this would've been in the 90s, and Inkscape wasn't quite a thing yet.

Niggle that is hard to research...

For anyone running Debian Testing (Forky) and using Waterfox, some video will not play due to Waterfox 6.6.12 not being compatible with ffmpeg v8. It is expecting v7 and I guess there are some videos where the video won't start due to switches, params, or whatever.

My use case was an old Youtube video that I snarfed many years ago and had on my Jellyfin server.

[ Stream #0:0[0x1](und): Video: h264 (Main) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv420p(progressive), 854x480, 1100 kb/s, 25 fps, 25 tbr, 90k tbn (default) ]

Waterfox (v6.6.12) won't play it but Librewolf (150.0.1-1) does. Both are installed from PPA, not flatpak.

Forky currently has: ffmpeg/testing,now 7:8.1-3+b1

New stuff plays fine so I hadn't noticed it since ~Wednesday when this box was re-imaged and moved into.

Apparently the Waterfox flatpak doesn't have this problem (probably has it's own ffmpeg v7 bundled inside or has a flatpak ffmpeg dependency).

I could get into the weeds further to confirm but Librewolf works for now. I'll wait for Waterfox to work through it. 🙂

@thomholwerda #Debian. I've been using it for literally 30 years. In all that time, it has remained community-owned, with assets held by a non-profit. Its founding documents say that the priorities are its users and Free Software. I personally have used it for everything from large-scale deployments, Rasberry Pis. Its policy of backporting security fixes means things like automated security patches are much more practical than with rolling releases.

So I have a 27inch 4K display and I am using #KDE at 200% scaling. #FONTS are crispy and legible at arms distance from the display.

Am I old or are others also using a similar scaling option?

If you're seeing articles about #chrome like https://www.thatprivacyguy.com/blog/chrome-silent-nano-install/, just be aware that #chromium in #debian (and #UngoogledChromium) removes this garbage (https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium/pull/3676). Stuff like this is why I don't think the answer to "how do I get the latest software in my distribution" is not "Just use a flatpak/snap! Upstream Knows Best!™ "

Anyone else having issues connecting to the Debian wiki? I get the initial anti AI screen or whatever it is and then it gives me a "Forbidden" page.

Accessing via VPN works but from my normal Bell CGNAT IP does not. It's not a 403, just a text pages saying Forbidden.

Did the Debian admins block Bell Canada residential IP ranges by mistake?

Recently I got asked about my @BoxyBSD@bsd.cafe project, which offers free VPS instances of vary #BSD based systems for learning and educational purposes and I'm happy to share that this projects remains available. Several things could finally be clarified to continue this service to make sure people can learn and practice on real #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD systems to #RUNBSD. Also, BoxyBSD starts moving over to #Sylve on #bhyve.

But not only that! We could also get some more new resources and locations to scale and this also brings up another new project for #free Linux #VPS instances at https://boxedtux.com (Fedi: @BoxedTux@mastodon.social) where people will be able to learn and practice on different #Linux based distributions (e.g., #Debian, #Ubuntu, #Rocky,...). BoxedTux utilizes #Proxmox clusters as a foundation.

If you use #Linux and are using a #Debian or #Ubuntu based distro, one thing I would recommend for installing .deb files (ones you download from outside your repos), is to install "gdebi" and use that to open and install your .deb packages instead of your "Software Center". Reason being, "gdebi", before it actually installs anything, lets you browse the contents of the package, read the contents of control files like postinst, etc. to make sure it isn't doing anything shady.

Butterbian

Butterbian is a Debian 13 (Trixie) installer built around one idea: your system should be snapshotted before anything breaks it. Most distros leave BTRFS and Timeshift as an exercise for the user. Butterbian does it for you — subvolumes laid out correctly, Timeshift configured, grub-btrfs wired in, so you can roll back from GRUB if it all goes sideways.

@rl_dane @anselmschueler

Lemme rephrase that:

I miss the days when distros used the 2.6.x kernel. Maybe someone around here will just call me a cranky old curmudgeon, but things did seem simpler back then.

The opaque undocumented userland sprawl is a problem, with the operative word being "undocumented."

RE: Arch Wiki

Yes, as good as it is it's still not proper HOWTO or understandable, (vetted) documentation. The *one* thing that has me gravitating towards #FreeBSD is documentation is a first class feature. It makes the OS a lot more transparent and understandable. I'm sure that's also the case for #NetBSD and #OpenBSD but I don't use them.

This laptop runs #Ubuntu. While it is a #Debian derivative, it's opaque. While there is more documentation available on Ubuntu's website, it's nowhere near as thorough and empathetic as it needs to be. I shouldn't have to visit another distro's wiki just to research info about a different distro on an OEM laptop. That, to me, is unacceptable.

Hey Fedipeeps, is Debian an okay choice for modern desktops?

Does it still have ancient versions of programmes on the repos?

Does it at least allow Flatpak for up to date software?

Can one play Steam and games on it with nvidia drivers?

Does it support two monitors?

What are the downsides?

Ubuntu going ai is making my skin crawl..

What are the sane distros going forward?

MX Linux is a fine debian derivatives with a dev by the name anticapitalista on the core team.

Anticapitalista runs another debian derivative antiX which they brand officially as anti-fascist.

Just saying if your looking for #Debian or #Ubuntu alternatives, or distros where systemd is optional they might be worth checking out.

Recently I switched from Wayland to X11 because some Electron-based apps are having severe graphics issues that X tends to clear up. It's mostly Signal. I gave up on Slack long ago, though I bet running X would fix that, too.

But since logging in with X11, suspend/resume is broken, and I keep this desktop suspended a LOT of the time. I'm now back on Wayland. Let's see if that resolves it.

Somebody on YouTube posted “DEBIAN 13: I could actually use it as my desktop, now!”

Heh. I've been using #Debian on desktop since version 1.2. Or maybe 1.1. I forget.

The now-famous #Debian spiral logo came out several years after I started using it. I was quite excited when I saw the announcement of the new logo!

As I recall, the Debian logo when I got started was just “Debian” on top of a grid of black lines.

@benjamineskola @alienghic as an anarchist #debian developer, that's exactly what i was thinking right then. also, it's interesting that @sunweaver used the term "anarchy" instead of "anarchism" here, which *is* what is on the darn t-shirt. :)

Debian has been releasing every other year since 2005. That is actually quite impressive.

Bon, il va falloir que je change debian pour Fedora. Heureusement, j'avais installé debian en gardant une partition /home séparée, donc a priori j'ai juste une réinstallation à faire, mais je ne suis pas sûr de la configuration des points de montage. Vous pouvez m'aider ?

Edit : est-ce que la configuration en photo 3 est correcte ?

@Larvitz so you're running a rolling release candidate in production... I suppose an unstable dev would be worse but you dare the devil. 🫣
Stable community rebuilds are less unconscious ways. Still it's a workaround for something broken by design.
The real solution is to run away from redhat ecosystem -> #debian #opensuse #mageia #mint ...

The Devuan installers are also not Linux newbie friendly, but I really like the TUI based Devuan Server installer and then choose a desktop environment as one of the last steps.

I chose Devuan because I am interested in not having SystemD.

Debian is also good, but for ease of use and installation I would usually recommend Linux Mint Debian Edition to a Linux Newbie would wants to run Debian.

So I am guessing the reason is that some Debian derivatives have an an installer that is easier to use and understand than Debian itself.

Lighter weight and Debian base is great. It is also friendly to Linux newbies with helpful tools, community and documentation.

I use Devuan on many of my computers, which is also based on Debian.

Photo of Sruthi Chandran, probably giving a conference talk. Debian swirl in the background.

Although I wouldn't recommend it to just *anyone*, there are definitely reasons why #Debian is still a great Linux experience.

I like it especially well because it's well-supported and it has a plain vanilla GNOME experience, unlike Ubuntu's customized version. There's a clean minimalism that I really enjoy.

I searched aliexpress for #Debian and this was the first item.

(They have other colors too)

Sodele, #AsahiLinux ist auf dem #MacbookProM1 installiert und eingerichtet.

Meine Fresse läuft das Ding schnell 😳

Das Einzige was echt nervt, dass man Asahi Linux NICHT als ISO runterladen und auf einen Stick laden kann, um eine komplette Installation zu machen. Das #macOS (nur Grundinstallation, ohne Einrichtung mit Apple-Account!) verbraucht rund 75GB. Schade um den Platz.

But: my second Macbook Pro runs #Linux!

Ich habe befürchtet das Du das sagst.

Das hat aber nichts mit #Linux zu tun.

Das ist eine Besonderheit der #Suse Distribution.

Auch wenn man die Verwaltung der Programme verschiedene Tools überlasst geht das natürlich mal in die Hose.

Auch verstehe ich nicht das die Verwaltung des Pcs lästig ist.

Per #ssh darauf zugreifen dauert maximal 2 Minuten und geht sogar vom Smartphone aus.

Allerdings hätte ich was stabileres wie #Debian als #Suse genommen.

@darth

In terms of what I use most of the time, my main OS at home is #FreeBSD, and my main OS at work is #Debian.

I also have an #OpenBSD laptop at home, but it doesn't get a lot of use. I also have a #Fedora laptop and an #OpenSuSE desktop, both at home.

Oh, and some random Raspberry Pi OS and Debian machines here and there.

Here's my quick perspective:

When Linux works (which it does most of the time), it is a dream. When it doesn't work, it's a nightmare of complexity, relatively poor documentation (I mean actual HOWTO documents, not just manpages and wikis), and technical churn.

When BSD works (which it does, but less often than Linux), it's totally fine, and you forget you're not running Linux. When it doesn't work, it's either because it's a technical problem that hasn't been solved yet (limited resources compared to the light-cigars-with-benjamins money that the Linux Foundation gets), or it's a simple configuration issue, and there's almost always a very helpful manpage, PDF manual, or someone on the fediverse to point you in the right direction.

BSD feels like an operating system that tries hard to be a good desktop, and succeeds to varying degrees.
Linux feels like a lovecraftian tale of runaway technical complexity and corporate intrigue that does an amazing job at cosplaying as a desktop, most of the time.

I love them both.

#LUKS is gonna drive me mad.

This is on a brand new #Debian install. All I'm trying to do is have my home partition encrypted on a second SSD. No matter what I try, I get an unbootable system or it just ignores the second SSD. Right now, the last thing I tried to do was to use LVM to add the second SSD as a physical partition. But that didn't work either.

The last thing I tried was to boot into the graphical installer (not the live session) and install it with the guided partitioning using LVM and encryption. I then booted into a live session, Set up the second SSD as a physical volume and then add that physical volume to the main volume group. I then extended the swap and root partition into the new space provided by the second SSD as physical volume, but it doesn't boot.

Are there any distros that handle this automatically? I'm tired of pulling my hair out.

The Discover app looks quite promising. However, when I click to install an app from the apps.kde.org website, it opens the Discover app but I get this error:

"could not open appstream://org.kde.discover.desktop because it was not found in any available software repositories"

I am not sure how to add the KDE apps website to the Discover repositories.

Is this a common error? Or do you think it is Debian or Devuan specific error? I haven't yet tried on my Artix Linux installation, as that is currently in a different location.

Discover app error message

"[ifupdown]-ng has a cleaner architecture but switching would require
[ifupdown]-ng factually being a drop-in replacement [for ifupdown]."

Why? Why does everything have to be bug-for-bug compatible going back 30 years? You're allowed to make some format changes as long as there's an effective migration strategy. Especially given that it would erase mountains of technical debt.
